Working conditions during the pandemic pushed many workers to organize — but fears about a potential recession could curb the union boom. katerogers and Thxamelian report.

As the Federal Reserve continues to aggressively raise interest rates to fight inflation and cool down the economy, market watchers, economists and executives are warning of a potential recession in 2023.

For now, advocates believe the momentum will be hard to slow down. Whether it's petitions or other wins, like a California law that creates a council to govern the fast-food industry labor conditions, 2022 has been a banner year for organizing. In May, the company announced enhanced pay hikes for non-unionized stores and extra training for baristas that went into effect in August after holding feedback sessions with its employees. The union has said the coffee giant is illegally withholding the benefits from cafes, but Starbucks maintains it cannot offer new benefits without negotiations for union shops."Our focus is on working directly with our partners to reimagine the future of Starbucks.

He added that he believes once the union makes continued progress on having fired workers reinstated and is successful in having benefits extended to union stores, there will be more headway made on petitions. About 240 locations out of its 9,000 company-owned cafes have voted to unionize as of Sept. 22, according to the National Labor Relations Board. But contract negotiations could help or hinder the push to unionize the nation's largest coffee chain.

And despite the petition slowdown at Starbucks, organizers' success has inspired workers elsewhere, like Bradlea, the Trader Joe's employee.
